What is Great Britain's climate?

Answer 1

The UK has a temperate climate.
The island of Great Britain's has a Maritime/Oceanic climate. This climate is defined as having warm but not hot summers and cool but not cold winters, meaning it does not get too hot and does not get too cold. There is also no such thing as a dry season in this type of climate, meaning it rains year round. Let's look at the climate of London and the climate of Edinburgh to get a better realization:

London:

Summer months- Average High (20˚C; 68˚F) & Average Low (11˚C; 52˚F)

Total Average (15.5˚C; 60˚F)

Precipitation in Summer months- 320 mm (12.6 inches)

Sunshine hours- 1,036.9 hours/4,392 hours (24%)

Winter months- Average High (11˚C; 52˚F) & Average Low (4˚C; 39˚F)

Total Average (7.5˚C; 45.5˚F)

Precipitation in Winter months- 281 mm (11.1 inches)

Sunshine hours- 423.3 hours/4,368 hours (10%)

Edinburgh:

Summer months- Average High (16˚C; 61˚F) & Average Low (9˚C; 48˚F)

Total Average (12.5˚C; 54.5˚F)

Precipitation in Summer months- 335 mm (13.2 inches)

Sunshine hours- 954 hours/4,392 hours (22%)

Winter months- Average High (9˚C; 48˚F) & Average Low (3˚C; 37˚F)

Total Average (6˚C; 43˚F)

Precipitation in Winter months- 374 mm (14.7 inches)

Sunshine hours- 457 hours/4,368 hours (10%)

So as you can tell, it is generally warmer down south than up north. It also generally rains more in the north compared to the south. I wouldn't compare sunshine hours, however, because London is famous for its fog; it's not to say the whole southern part of the island is covered in fog as well.
